Covid-19 Brain Fog

Published

Use of either transcranial or whole-body photobiomodulation treatments improves COVID-19 brain fog.

This study looked at the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on long COVID symptoms like chronic fatigue and brain fog. It tested two devices: a helmet for the head (transcranial PBM) and a light bed for the whole body. Over four weeks, two groups of seven people each received 12 treatments. Cognitive tests and brain activity were measured before and after the therapy, showing significant improvements in both. The findings suggest that PBM intervention, whether for the brain or body, may help treat brain fog in long COVID patients.

Neuradiant 1070 & NeuroCatch® Platform Case Study Report.

This case study used a photobiomodulation (PBM) protocol with the Neuradiant 1070 device on a healthy individual, set at 70 Hz for 12 minutes at 75% intensity. Brain activity was then recorded with the NeuroCatch® Platform, which measures amplitude (brain activity strength) and latency (response speed). Higher amplitudes reflect stronger activity, while shorter latencies suggest faster processing. At baseline, the individual showed smaller amplitudes and longer latencies in their N100 (Auditory Sensation) and P300 (Basic Attention) responses, with N100 at 2.2 μV/298 ms and P300 at 3.9 μV/320 ms, indicating reduced brain activity but still within the normal range.

Enhancing Cognitive Performance using Transcranial Photobiomodulation

This study aims to evaluate the effects of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) on cognitive performance, specifically in tasks involving vigilance and working memory. The research predicts enhanced cognitive performance and mood in the tPBM group compared to the sham group, with cumulative improvements across sessions.

Study shows PBM therapy reduces COVID-19 brain fog, supported by research from Shepherd University and Journal of Biophotonics.

Partnership formed to develop real-time, AI driven, stimulation protocols.

Neuronic, a multi-national company focused on light therapy technology, and Santa Clara University (SCU) in Silicon Valley, has announced a partnership to develop a research project to study photobiomodulation (PBM) guided by real-time brain activity, which will be led by Dr. Julia A. Scott and Dr. Sally Wood.

Light Therapy Alleviates Long COVID Brain Fog Symptoms

Dr. Robert Bowen and Dr. Praveen Arany led an open-label, proof-of-concept clinical study, entitled “Use of Either Transcranial and Whole-Body Photobiomodulation Treatments Improves COVID-19 Brain Fog“ which examined the efficacy of two photobiomodulation devices for improving Long COVID symptoms, specifically brain fog and general fatigue.
